Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 55

It had only been 24 hours. How could Blake possibly change his mind?

Besides, even if Blake wanted to work with them, there was no way he'd talk to Yolanda, a high school student who didn't know a thing about business.

"Did you forge this contract?" Harold questioned Yolanda icily.

Before she could respond, he roared, "I know you want to prove yourself at home, but this isn't the way to do it! I can't believe you'd forge contracts at your age! Don't you know it's a crime? If I call the cops, you'll be sent right back to the juvenile detention center!"

Meanwhile, Yvonne, sitting across from Harold, tried to hide the smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

With a disapproving frown, she patiently advised Yolanda, "How could you do something like this, Yolanda? You'd ruin the company's reputation! Dad merely criticized you a little yesterday. You didn't need to go as far as forging a contract to prove yourself!"

Harold shot Yolanda a withering look. "I guess I wasn't off the mark when I said she's brainless!"

"Yolanda, did you really forge that contract?" Diana, who had begun to have a slightly better impression of Yolanda, began to waver when she saw her pull out a contract with Doxcon Group.

Diana didn't believe Yolanda could secure a contract that Harold couldn't even land. Besides, she'd just been released from the juvenile detention center a few days ago and knew nothing about Henderson Group's operations. There was no way she could've persuaded the general manager of Doxcon Group.

With these thoughts in mind, Diana's gaze toward Yolanda grew colder. "I genuinely thought you had changed for the better… I can't believe you'd pull something like this. I'm so disappointed in you."

"Hurry up and apologize to Dad, Yolanda. You're clearly in the wrong here!" Yvonne chimed in.

"Yvonne's right," Diana said sternly. "You need to apologize to your father, Yolanda."

Initially, she had thought Yolanda had become more astute and could potentially threaten her standing in the family. However, now she realized she had overestimated her.

"Honey, I know Yolanda can be a handful, but please don't let her upset you. Let's just eat first!" Diana said, reaching for the contract in Harold's hand.

"Why are you so focused on this forged contract? Just tear it up and throw it away! We can't let anyone else find out about this. It's humiliating!"

"Don't touch it…" Harold refused to let go of the contract.

He stared at the seal for a while before saying stiffly, "This contract… It's legitimate."
